About this map

Boise National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in Valley and Idaho Counties, defined by the winding course of the Middle Fork Payette River. The area is characterized by a dense network of drainage systems, including the uniquely named Sixteen-to-one Creek and Fool Creek, which feed into the primary river valley. High points such as East Mountain and the North Fork Range provide significant vertical relief, while Silver Creek Summit marks a critical passage in the eastern terrain.

Of particular interest to local history is the presence of Bull Creek Hot Springs, a geothermal feature situated along Bull Creek. The map documents early access routes through the back-country, specifically a Pack Trail that connects various drainages, offering a view of how this wilderness was navigated before modern infrastructure. This 1980s data highlights the geography as it stood during the late twentieth century, preserving the locations of remote Hot Springs and landmarks like Eureka Point.
